First Impressions

AI-Written

The name lands firmly in the vinyl era with a confident late-twentieth-century swagger. It suggests someone who owned a pager during its peak relevance and still knows how to parallel park a full-sized sedan in two turns. Today the average bearer is around thirty-eight years old, caught neatly between the elder Millennial and younger Gen X brackets. It is a name that almost never requires spelling out, though occasionally gets confused with its French ancestor.
